Without FAST (and imo FAST 2) V-Max is much less compelling to customers. With v2, V-Max can more fully exploit flash and compete with tier 1.5 storage arrays from a cost perspective (and IBM SVC consolidations that have been occurring to avoid T1 expense). <br><br>My understanding of why RapidIO is because the ecosystem is more robust than Infiband's.

My understanding of why RapidIO is because the ecosystem is more robust than Infiband's.
